What would you like to see designed?

You will think I'm crazy, but I'd like to see a model of the lighthouse on Morris Island, Charleston Harbor, USA. If the model works out, it might be donated to the Morris Island Restoration folks, for sale, to help fund the restoration. Could make it as a model, but also as a bank. Just a thought.

Ok, so Im doing some ships for the awesome "taffy III" of the battle of samar.
Already started the Gambier Bay and Uss Heermann, and even planning to do the Uss Hoel and the heroic Uss Johnston
(the destroyer who fought like a battlecruiser).

BUT there is NO model of the escorts destroyers! the so called Buttler class destroyer. I've been looking everywere for something from the DE class.
help me with this or atleast point me in the right derection to find one.

great thanks! Ohh, I forgot. I'm concentrating on the 1/200 scale.

I'm of to the shop to find a kit and continuing my quest of taffyIII

How about a model of the Royal Caribbean cruise liner, Voyager of the Seas? This was the cruise that my wife and I went on on our 10 year anniversary. It would be great to have a paper model of her.

Here is a site that has some great pictures.
